Abstract

A method for the production of textile sheets with specific surface effects, and the textile sheet as a product, for outer wear, upholstered furniture or car seat covers or decoration, from yarns of yarn strengths typical for carded yarns (for example, ring-spun yarn, OE Yarn, MJS yarn, friction yarn), generally having low hairiness and low wool portion.

By the needling process, there is a fiber displacement from the fleece through the sheet up to the nap, preferably perpendicular to the surface expansion, by 50 to 1200 perforations per 1 cm2, by felting needles, resulting in a number of known finishing processes for the production of specific nap-like surface effects being replaced and functional possibilities for yarns with lower hairiness being created.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION AND PRIOR ART STATEMENT
The invention concerns textile sheets for outer wear, upholstered furniture, or car seat covers or decoration, from rotor (open end), MJS (Murata-Jet), sirospun or friction yarns, of yarn strengths typical for carded yarns, which, following the surface forming process, can be adjusted or finished to certain characteristics.
It is known, according to DE-OS 2522 871, that woven fabrics for furniture upholstery can receive a higher volume, raised effects, as well as a higher tenacity, by mulitple needle processes.
According to DD 0153 502, sheets of 100% synthetic silk can have a nap-like surface, resembling carded yarn, as the result of multiple needling, as well as high surface stretching stability, high thread pulling resistance, and high volume. Color series of home textiles with the same basic pattern are manufactured, according to DE OS 2 821 701, in which pre-stengthened fleeces of synthetic fibers, with large-meshed woven fabrics, are needled as backing surfaces, of the same fiber base.
Depending on the color of the fleece among the large-meshed backing material, equal pattern series with different color tones can be achieved.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention is based on large-meshed, dependent base areas from threads as intermediate product, in which the spaces between the threads are filled with fibers from a pre-strengthened fleece, resulting in an independent sheet with surface stability, pattern and needleloom felt character following the needling process. Within the intent, ambit, and scope of the present invention, it will be understood that the term "sheet" or "textile" also encompasses and includes a web, woven fabric, or the like textile and/or cloth materials.
It is an object of the invention to provide sheets from rotor (open end) or friction yarns, or the like, of yarn strengths typical for carded yarns, without the disadvantages resulting from the respective characteristic yarn construction, i.e., the stomach binder or sugartop effect, firm round yarn cross-section, low hairiness, low wool portion (generally with damaged fish-scale structure of the wool), etc.
The sheet will have fulling and raising-like effects, improving the functional value and the appearance, which are otherwise generally attainable only with several finishing processes and high material losses. The sheets will be adjusted to the respective specific purpose, or "custom made", with respect to the material composition, especially with respect to the wool portion, by means of a finishing process. They can contain fiber materials with very large staple length, dispersion width, and high wool portion.
Thus it is an object of the invention to penetrate textile sheets from rotor (open end), or MJS (Murata-Jet), or sirospun or friction yarns, of yarn strengths typical for carded yarns, with characteristically firm round yarn cross-section, low hairiness and predominantly low wool portion (generally less than 50%), by means of a multiple needling process, in accordance with specific functional demands on the surface, with such selected fiber materials, for example, wool, which could not or only disadvantageously be spun together by means of the aforementioned spinning method.
By penetrating the thread system with quality defining fiber materials and fiber parts from the yarn, the development of an optimum fiber portion, in the respective functional value defining area of the sheet, is assured.
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become evident from the description which follows.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
In summary, the invention relatrs to a method for the production of textile sheets with specific surface effects, and the textile sheet as a product, for outer wear, upholstered furniture or car seat covers or decoration, from yarns of yarn stengths typical for carded yarns (for example, ring-spun yarn, OE Yarn, MJS yarn, friction yarn), generally having low hairiness and low wool portion. This is accomplished in that on one or both surfaces of the textile sheet, a wool fleece remnant is present as the original of the wool fiber portions, the portions penetrating the thread system partially through the entire thickness of the sheet, in the stitch direction of a multiple one or two-sided needle device, and projecting in the stitch direction from the surface of the sheet as a nap, together with such fiber material portions, which have their origin in the textile sheets to be finished. By the needling process, there is a fiber displacement from the fleece through the sheet up to the nap, preferably perpendicular to the surface expansion, by 50 to 1200 perforations per 1 cm2, by felting needles, resulting in a number of known finishing processes for the production of specific nap-like surface effects being replaced and functional possibilities for yarns with lower hairiness being created.
Thus, the present invention is characterized by the provision of a textile sheet with specific surface effects for outer wear or upholstered furniture or car seat covers or decoration, from yarns of yarn strengths typical for carded yarns, in which the sheet consists of yarns with firm round cross-section, low hairiness, low wool portion, preferably of the thread construction of the rotor (open end), MJS (Murata-Jet), sirospun or friction yarns, and in which on one or both surfaces of the sheet, there is a wool fleece remnant or the like as the origin of wool fiber portions penetrating the thread system partially through the entire thickness of the sheet, in the stitch direction of a multiple one or two-sided needle device, and projecting as a nap in the stitch direction from the surface of the sheet, together with such fiber material parts, which have their origin in the yarn core and/or yarn mantle as hairiness, and/or projecting from the surface of the sheet as a nap, so that there is a higher wool portion in the form of higher hairiness in the thread system, than in the yarn prior to the sheet formation.
Typically, in a preferred mode, the textile sheet with specific surface effects entails a configuration in which the fiber displacement from the fleece through the sheet up to the nap, and from the yarn cross-section up to the nap, runs in a stitch direction of the needles of a multiple one or two-sided needle device, preferably perpendicular to the sheet expansion.
In the present invention, the objects are accomplished in that the textile sheet, preferably consisting of yarns of yarn strengths typical for carded yarns, with firm round yarn cross-section, low hairiness and predominantly low wool portion (generally less than 50%), having been manufactured according to already known sheet formation methods, is penetrated as the web to be finished, by fibers from a finishing surface in the form of a wool fleece in the needle perforation direction. The web to be finished can be perforated by wool fibers from finishing surfaces, originating in a fleece, located on the surface as fleece remnant. The predominant wool fiber portion is preferably removed from the fleece by CB notched needles, possibly in the diametral needle perforation direction, in the thread system of the web to be finished, with high fiber portion, and through the entire thickness of the sheet, up to the opposite surface. Likewise, fiber portions from the entire yarn cross-section of the web to be finished, i.e., from positions of the yarn cross-section, which could not be reached by raising processes, participate in the fiber displacement in the direction towards the surface, ending in a nap. Depending on the perforation direction, depth, and frequency, there can be a thick or thinner, long or shorter, nap, on one or both surfaces of the textile sheet.
In the thread system and in the nap, there is a fiber mixture of wool fibers, and fibers from the yarn and the thread system, with the wool portion in the yarn and the thread system being higher than before the finishing process; generally higher than 50%. Furthermore, the hairiness of the yarn and the volume are considerably higher than before the finishing process, as a result of the fiber displacement from all positions of the yarn cross-section. By the needling process, for example, by means of an already known needleloom felt machine, and the penetration of the thread system with fibers from wool fleeces, which can contain wool fibers with very high staple length dispersion width, for example lambswool, mohair, rag wool, the result is a sheet with high hairiness, loose cross-section and high wool portion of the yarn, with fulling-like fiber displacements and a nap on the surface, i.e., having effects, which in other already known sheets could only be accomplished with threads of other thread constructions, for example, ring-spun yarn, by several finishing processes combined with high material losses, for example, during raising. Finishing processes, such as cutting, pile rotation, decatizing and the like can lend to the sheet the character of noble wool sheets.
EXAMPLE
The invention will be explained by means of the following embodiment:
WOVEN FABRIC TO BE FINISHED
Warp yarns OE-rotor yarn VIF 50% wool 50% 170 tex×24 tex
weft yarns OE-rotor yarn VIF 50% wool 50% 170 tex
warp thread thickness 91.3/10 cm
weft thread thickness 82/10 cm
binding K(2/2)
surface measurement 285 g/m2
FIBER FLEECE AS FINISHING AREA

surface measurement approximately 20 g/m2
These webs are supplied to a needle device, and needled together, with a perforation frequency of 210-240/cm2. The textile web with a surface covering nap is supplied to an additional, already known finishing process.
It thus will be seen that there is provided a textile sheet with specific surface effects, and a method for producing the textile sheet, which attain the various objects of the invention, and which are well adapted for the conditions of practical use. As numerous alternatives within the scope of the present invention, besides those alternatives, variations, embodiments and equivalents mentioned supra, will occur to those skilled in the art, it will be understood that the present invention is to be limited only by the scope and content of the recitations in the appended claims, and functional and structural equivalents thereof.
